Addison Oktoberfest

September 19-22

An authentic recreation of the Munich Oktoberfest, this event features almost 30 hours of continuous family-oriented entertainment. Addison Oktoberfest coincides with the opening of the 16-day festival in Munich, Germany.

The original celebration began on October 10, 1810, to celebrate the royal wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxon-Hildburghausen. In 1880, the festival was scheduled to start in September so the festival could enjoy more pleasant weather. Serving special “Oktoberfest” Bier along with incredible German culinary fare, the festival also includes our Marktplatz, music, and kid-friendly options like the karneval, midway games and much more.

All event vendors will now accept Cash, Major Credit Cards and Tasty Bucks at any booth location. What does this mean for event patrons? Fewer and Shorter lines! (Guests are no longer required to purchase Tasty Bucks or Festival Coupons to buy food and drinks), valid Tasty Bucks from all years will still be accepted at all Addison events, including Taste Addison, Addison Kaboom Town!® and Addison Oktoberfest. Note that there will be no exchanges or refunds for Tasty Bucks from previous years.
